Subject: [PATCH 2.6.10-rc1 4/15] wireless/orinoco: Update orinoco changelog and module parameters
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 14:45:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1098816355.3663.50.camel@dcbw.boston.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1098814320.3663.24.camel@dcbw.boston.redhat.com>

Update in-kernel orinoco wireless drivers to upstream CVS.
None of this is original code by Dan Williams, simply a
broken down patch set split-out from upstream orinoco CVS.

o Update orinoco changelog and module parameters

  *	  in the rx_dropped statistics.
  *	o Provided a module parameter to suppress linkstatus messages.
  *
+ * v0.13e -> v0.14alpha1 - 30 Sep 2003 - David Gibson
+ *	o Replaced priv->connected logic with netif_carrier_on/off()
+ *	  calls.
+ *	o Remove has_ibss_any and never set the CREATEIBSS RID when
+ *	  the ESSID is empty.  Too many firmwares break if we do.
+ *	o 2.6 merges: Replace pdev->slot_name with pci_name(), remove
+ *	  __devinitdata from PCI ID tables, use free_netdev().
+ *	o Enabled shared-key authentication for Agere firmware (from
+ *	  Robert J. Moore <Robert.J.Moore AT allanbank.com>
+ *	o Move netif_wake_queue() (back) to the Tx completion from the
+ *	  ALLOC event.  This seems to prevent/mitigate the rolling
+ *	  error -110 problems at least on some Intersil firmwares.
+ *	  Theoretically reduces performance, but I can't measure it.
+ *	  Patch from Andrew Tridgell <tridge AT samba.org>
+ *
+ * v0.14alpha1 -> v0.14alpha2 - 20 Oct 2003 - David Gibson
+ *	o Correctly turn off shared-key authentication when requested
+ *	  (bugfix from Robert J. Moore).
+ *	o Correct airport sleep interfaces for current 2.6 kernels.
+ *	o Add code for key change without disabling/enabling the MAC
+ *	  port.  This is supposed to allow 802.1x to work sanely, but
+ *	  doesn't seem to yet.
+ *
+ * v0.14alpha2 -> v0.15rc1 - 19 Apr 2004 - Pavel Roskin & David Gibson
+ *	o Fix bug which prevented setting 32 character ESSIDs from
+ *	  iwconfig (Thomas Schulz).
+ *	o Fix for incorrect CIS access in orinoco_plx (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Fix setting WEP key if __orinoco_fastkeychange() is not
+ *	  supported (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o New wireless extensions API and scanning support (patch from
+ *	  Moustafa Youssef, updated by Jim Carter and Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Add minimal ethtool support (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Replace CardServices() calls for compatibility with Linux
+ *	  2.6.2 and above (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Fix recognition of Intersil x.x.1 firmware (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Replace dump_recs with more flexible get_rid ioctl (Pavel
+ *	  Roskin).
+ *	o RF monitor mode support (Pavel Roskin).
+ *	o Lots of bugfixes.
+ *
+ * v0.15rc1 -> v0.15rc2 - 28 Jul 2004 - Pavel Roskin & David Gibson
+ *	o orinoco_pci saves PCI registers on suspend (Simon Huggins).
+ *	o Monitor mode disabled on Agere 8.xx firmware - it's broken.
+ *	o BAP timeout increased - needed for Intersil firmware.
+ *	o Tx power is no longer reported - it's unreliable.
+ *	o Use 802.11 header in rx path.  Hide packets with ToDS flag
+ *	  from programs that don't need promiscous mode (John Denker).
+ *	o Manual roaming implemented for Symbol and Intersil firmware.
+ *	o Use netdev_priv() instead of directly dereferencing dev->priv.
+ *	o Some simplification of pcmcia init code in orinoco_cs and
+ *	  spectrum_cs. 
+ *	o Numerous trivial cleanups, mainly arising from long-overdue
+ *	  merge with mainline.
+ *
+ * v0.15rc2 -> ???? - ???? - David Gibson
+ *	o Use msleep() instead of hardcoded schedule_timeout()s
+ *	  (Nishanth Aravamudan via kernel-janitors list).
+ *
  * TODO
- *	o New wireless extensions API (patch from Moustafa
- *	  Youssef, updated by Jim Carter and Pavel Roskin).
  *	o Handle de-encapsulation within network layer, provide 802.11
  *	  headers (patch from Thomas 'Dent' Mirlacher)
- *	o RF monitor mode support
  *	o Fix possible races in SPY handling.
  *	o Disconnect wireless extensions from fundamental configuration.
  *	o (maybe) Software WEP support (patch from Stano Meduna).
